Dowgate Capital - Capitalising on the booming AIM market (DGT)
overgrowth

Dowgate Capital (DGT) are sitting in the middle of a goldmine! This company through their sole trading arm City Financial Associates are looking to take full advantage of the "booming" AIM market this year. Dowgate provide NOMAD (NOMinated ADvisor) services to AIM companies and also have full Corporate Broker status which means that they can fund placements on behalf of the companies they represent. |

On first sight, the fact that Dowgate exist in the often veiled financial services sector makes you think twice about investing in company such as this because it would be impossible to understand what they were doing - however, think again! DGT bring new companies to the AIM (Alternative Investment Market). For each new company "floated" on AIM, they take arrangement fees when acting as NOMAD. After the company is launched then for a nice steady earner DGT get another healthy chunk of cash every year for looking after them (note that all AIM companies must have a nominated adviser - thereby securing a ready source of recurring income). Because DGT also act as a Corporate broker they can get a very healthy percentage for arranging placement of shares with insititutions before a new company floats. In addition, because placements come outside the sphere of yearly NOMAD work, they can also gain healthy percentages of placements which companies may need to make throughout the year when they need a quick injection of cash to speed growth. Current NOMADships: 28 companies represented (gives recurring income of approx 480,000 per year) Current on-going Brokerage agreements: 19 companies (income depends on placements) For flotations, depending on the size of a company, fees charged will be anything from 50,000 to 100,000+ For placements (the real earner), DGT get anything from 3% to around 12% of the TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED - For example a new company raising 3M though a placement will earn DGT anything from 90,000 to 360,000 ! These figures are indicative as actual deals all differ due to circumstances and DGT sometimes take payment in shares - they still have a tasty chunk of Setstone shares and when this Russian exploration company comes back to AIM, predictions are that the share price will rocket. Note that the amount that this little company can earn in fees is huge and every new deal that comes through we know will contribute another healthy chunk into the bottom line. The good news with every new floatation means that it's another chunk of recurring revenue which could go on for years, with DGT having to do very little. New clients gained in 2005 are: Mediazest (NOMAD & broker) Elite Strategies (NOMAD) Process Handling (NOMAD) Poland Investment Fund (NOMAD) Nanotech Energy (NOMAD & broker) Archimedia Ventures (NOMAD & broker) Red Leopard Holdings (NOMAD) Alba Mineral Resources (NOMAD & broker) Intandem Films (NOMAD & broker) Motive Television (NOMAD) IncaGold (NOMAD) Sportswinbet (NOMAD & Broker) Infoscreen Networks (NOMAD & Broker) Mark Kingsley (NOMAD & Broker) Croatia Ventures (NOMAD & Broker) Pantheon Leisure (NOMAD) Firenze Ventures (Ofex Advisor) FlightStore Group (NOMAD & Broker) Euro Capital Projects (NOMAD) Pearl Street Holdings (NOMAD) Worldwide Natural Resources (Ofex Advisor) Dovedale Ventures (Ofex Advisor) Other 2005 work completed:Neptune-Calculus VCT offer for subs of up to 12 million Advisory work for TGM on London Bus disposal for 20.4M Advisory work for Creightons on property disposal Advisory work for Hampton Trust on company restructuring Advisory work for Interbulk Investments on acquisition of Inbulk Advisory work for Fundamental-e Investments on two disposals Advisory work for Designer Vision re: Design Rights against Centurion Electronics Click Here for fundamentals and profit projections. |

I won`t bore you wiv Ireland and golf, well not just yet anyway. I have been keeping an eye on the board via internet cafe and am, same as all, a little disappointed that we haven`t increased to the level I was expecting before the interims, but there is a couple of weeks to go. What interested me more is the `special` dividend announced by Tellings, in which, I was sure we had some reasonable holding !! maybe Eric can enlighten me ?? Were that the case, this dividend could easily account for 250000 additional profit or 0.5p per share (bottom line, I know) but all the same a substantial result ?? any comments or advice. now for the golf... started at Ballyliffen in Donegal and the weather was fantastic blah..blah...blah etc

Unfortunately, as far as I am aware DGT do not have a holding in TGM; however, the NOMAD fees for the 20M disposal will have been substantial. Best guess is 100k-200k, which should push the H1 profits to the 500k region. The fee may have been significantly more (perhaps as much as 600k if DGT took their normal 3%) but we have no way of knowing until the Interims are published. Personally, I think that sort of figure is unrealistic, so will stick to the lower amount.

To say how bullish everyone is on this I have to look on page 2 of threads and no comments, either extremely confident of sp climb on results or twitchy sphincters??
Still have mine, not topping up though.
What would EPS be on this with 500k profit at interims but more importantly EPS on full year with consensus views of SD/PTH/OG?

Can't say I am at all worried at the moment, although obviously disappointed that we haven't seen a decent run up to the results.....yet! It's already been mentioned that after the debacle of last year where two transactions didn't make the H1 accounts and therefore a small loss was reported, that perhaps some PIs are a little nervous about having another go. The major difference is that last year, the CFA website was just being set up and the documentation that is available today, was not then. In other words all the hype of 2004 was uninformed speculation with little or no substance. This year is very different, we have 90% visibility of earnings and are able to estimate, quite accurately I feel (we shall see!) the profits for H1. So I sit on my holding very happy that we shall soon see a re-rating of the SP. Having watched some of the crap that has rocketed over the last few weeks on much less than we are expecting with DGT, I still feel a substantial increase is possible.
With regard to the EPS, my previous calculations on a PE of 12 represented a SP of some where in the region of 1.2-1.5p. I am going to wait for the H1 results before attempting the same calculation for the full year, but I believe I came up with something in the region of 2p last time I played with the figures. Unfortunately the numbers are in my other computer which seems to have kicked the bucket! When I get time I shall do the figures again.

Your summary provides a viewpoint on why there is little further buying ahead of what is believed to be a set of good results in the pipeline.

My current projections show 1,008,750 net profits after tax for full year - marked down a touch since my last announcement due to a couple of lost clients and expecting less than half the result in H2 (317,125) that I reckon we have in the bag for H1 (691,625) - which with 619m shares in issue gives a full year EPS of 0.16p. At the current SP of 0.69p that's a PE of 4.3. Re-rate that to a PE of 12 (conservatively) and you get an SP of 1.92. That'll do me nicely for this year!

Work Experience:
Eric Robson, a young university graduate, decided to see a little bit of the world and try a few different things before he took his rightful place in the upper echelons of the business world.
Looking through the national newspapers, he saw an advert for a sheep shearer and general handy person required in the outback of Australia, which he duly applied for and, to his great surprise and delight, was selected for the position.
On arriving at the outpost airstrip of Wankalonga, he was met by a pretty
unwholesome looking character, Tom, who was gifted with face sores, long greasy hair and an enormous beer gut. Tom, it transpired, was to be his nearest
neighbour on the farmstead and had come to the airstrip to welcome Eric and take him to his living quarters in a remote part of the farm.
Tom took the opportunity during the 2 hour drive to explain to Eric what his chores and responsibilities would be and, in conversation, told him that he (Tom)
was holding a Barbee tomorrow evening and suggested that Eric come over as it would help Richard to get to know the ways of the `Outback` people and settle in a bit.
Tom went on to explain the format for the Barbee and told Eric that these evenings usually started off with a beer or two, a bit of sex and a few more beers,
maybe a bit of music and dancing with a bit more sex and drinking, followed by the food with a bit more sex and beer and finally explaining that the evening would terminate with a massive display of sexual acrobatics with huge volumes of beer and spirit drinking and, if you were fit enough, a little bit more sex to finish off !!
Eric was astounded and couldn`t believe his luck that he`d found this Eutopia, providing all the things he`d loved at Uni, so to be polite, he said to Tom; That sounds great but what should I wear and what time should I call over, to which Tom replied; No worries at all on that score mate, wear anything and call over anytime; they`ll only be the two of us anyway !!

I had a brief chat with Tony Rawlinson yesterday. He will try to push the results out by end of the week. I gather there will not be an RNS before hand to confirm the date of the results. Could be the last chance to buy at these levels as this will quickly move with good expected profits.

His exact words were: "I hope to publish them in the next few days, but definitely before the end of August."
